Beverage Industry Covers Celsius in Annual Sports Drinks Issue

Sports drinks experience resurgence
Category leaders help get sales into shape
By Jessica Jacobsen

Rebranding of category leading products as well as no- and low- calorie varieties has helped the sports drink market rebound in dollar sales as well as unit sales. Sales of non-aseptic sports drinks increased 12.2 percent to more than $3.7 billion dollars for the 52 weeks ending Feb. 20 in supermarkets, drug stores, gas, and convenience stores and mass merchandise markets excluding Wal-Mart, according to SymphonyIRI Group, Chicago.

………“Celsius non-carbonated pre-exercise fitness drinks, is positioning its’ products as part of consumers’ sports regimen.
“Sports drinks are going to have to get more into the fitness world – back to the athletes, and a little bit less the general population that is looking for a refreshing drink,” says Steve Haley, Celsius’ founder and chief executive officer.
However, Celsius is focusing its efforts on filling a void of how to get your body prepared for the fitness world, he says. We’re positioning Celsius as your ultimate fitness partner,” Haley explains. “The main drink occasion where it’s the most beneficial is prior to exercise.”

Grandmas Guide To Life Bets Her Skinnier Bootie Celsius Works After A Trial Run!

April 13, 2011 - 9:20am

........What kind of blogger would I be if I didn’t do my due diligence and test the science? Before I posted this I gave Celsius a one week trial run . They say that you can burn an additional 100 calories per can. What do I think? You bet my getting skinnier bootie! I used my heart rate monitor and in a mere ½ hour I increased the calories burned by almost 40 (I did the same workout twice last week). I also lost three pounds last week on a diet that intended a two pounds a week – and I was cheating on the diet! 

Celsius also says that it gives you increased endurance for up to three or four hours. What do I think? I’ll tell you as soon as I’m done running this marathon. No, really. I’ve wanted to learn to be a runner for a long time but just never seemed to have the gumption for it.
         
After my Celsius on Sunday I ran for an hour (an hour!) and burned over 500 calories! I was so psyched! If it wasn’t for the silly blisters causing extreme pain on my feet (not Celsius’ fault – mine for not wearing proper socks) I’d be drinking a Celsius and running right now! 
The most exciting part – I was not jittery despite the fact that Celsius has more caffeine than energy drinks. It was just pure oomph! You can find out more about the science behind Celsius by clicking here. 

Final thought: Celsius is going to be a regular staple in my house and the soda that I drink will be gone.  I hear a can calling me now!

I Got Fit by starting an exercise routine, working with trainers, changing my diet, and enjoying Celsius!

March 29, 2011 - 4:26pm

                                                                           
 
 

Thanks Celsius, for helping me reach my goals!

 Here's my story:
I announced to my wife that I was going to lose weight.  I created a more specific goal – to get out of plus sized clothes! I cut out all junk food, the extra carbohydrates, and doubled my vegetable intake. I became intent on losing weight BUT it wasn’t easy, especially at the dinner table!

On May 2009, I realized, after returning from a trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park, that I had a weight problem. I had a hard time fitting into some of the safety harnesses on the rides. I also realized that I had become a “couch potato.” I even became winded walking to the mail box. I was 6 feet and 288 pounds. I was tired of not having any energy to do anything. I’d had enough!

 After one month with Celsius, exercise, and diet, I dropped several pounds. I started to have energy again. I realized I needed to do something physical. I started walking. At first I walked about a half mile every morning. It was hard and I was embarrassed. But I remained steady in my course. By the end of the second month, I was walking three miles every morning. I lost another 20 pounds. I wanted to move more. 

I started drinking Celsius twice a day. The workouts with the Otterbein University personal trainers were awesome! They pushed me to achieve my goals. I have participated in the programs. I lift weights three days per week. I am running four days per week. I developed a workout program and have left the old “me” behind.   I have a new identity and self-esteem for the first time in my life!  My wife began telling me how proud she was of me. My wife joined me in this “new” way for us to eat and drink Celsius. We cut out red meats, sugar, and started eating vegetables and whole grain products. She has managed to lose weight and has become interested in running as well! 
 
I lost a grand total of 113 pounds in the last year! I went from a size 42 and I am now a 32. I was 288 lbs and now I am 175 lbs!

CHRISTY'S REVIEWS AND MORE - "I was amazed this little pick-me-up burns calories!"

March 29, 2011 - 10:30am

I did a little more reading about this product when I got it so that way I could know more. I was amazed to find out that this little pick me up helps me burn calories. I loved reading” Celsius may reduce body fat, increase endurance and provide greater resistance to fatigue (increased energy).” you cannot tell me that doesn’t sound great. I normally wake up feeling fatigued and have to drink several cups of coffee just to get me going. The day I tried my Celsius I did not feel tired. It gave me just enough pick me up to get me through the day. I can definitely tell the difference from Celsius and normal caffeine products.

If you do not believe me try for yourself you will agree. I have not tried all of the flavors yet but this drink not only tasted great but gave me energy to keep me going. Also check out the several case studies that they have done on the product. You will enjoy reading them. Celsius is vitamin enriched and loaded with the good-for-you ingredients so it’s not bad like a can of soda would be. So grab a can and start enhancing your fitness goals today.
Also check them out on twitter and find them on Facebook.

Laced Kittens Reviews Celsius! "I Love Celsius! It's a great product for people like (ME)..."

March 29, 2011 - 9:10am


“Let me just start out by saying..I love Celsius!  Celsius is a great product to help people like (ME) who exercise but often have that couch potato side. Celsius gives you that boost you need to get off your butt and GO!”

 I have tried other "Supplement" drinks and shots before and they left me jittery, drowsy, or even sick to my stomach. They tasted strange, over sugared, or overly hyper. I left a can of Celsius in the fridge over night and drank it when I woke up at 5:30 in the morning, I felt its effects within 10 minutes of drinking it is now 1:32 Pm and I have kept my Pep since then. I had no energy when I woke up since my hours are set for waking up between 7-8 Am I am not used to waking up at 5:30 so I really needed a boost this morning. Like other energy drinks I have tried in the past I crashed around 2:00pm when I needed a boost to finish the day. I'm still hyped up and I'm not sluggish like I usually am without anything. I like to drink coffee but it stains my teeth and that means constantly using teeth whitening products that make my teeth sensitive.

Celsius was easy to drink other then the fact that they are 12 FL oz. So if you are not looking forward to chugging a 12 FL oz can you should check out the Celsius Shots they sell. I am put off of Supplement drinks because they are over sugared or they taste nasty, But Celsius was not overly sugared (As far as I could tell) and the flavors were tasty!.. The only ones I personally thought was a little off was the strawberry kiwi because it was just slightly tart. Other then that I could taste the strawberry and the kiwi which is flavors that I love! Celsius is a great product to help people like (ME) who exercise but often have that couch potato side. Celsius gives you that boost you need to get off your butt and GO! Celsius has tons of flavors to please anyone!
Celsius is your ultimate fitness partner, it Burns Calories, Reduces Body Fat, Energizes Metabolism, Energize Metabolism, Provides Lasting Energy, And is Clinically Validated. Celsius has won awards such as Best New Functional Beverage, Retailer's Choice Award, AND Best New Health Initiative. Here's a little fun fact..Mario Lopez is the National Brand Spokesperson for Celsius! I remember him when he played in "Saved By The Bell" when I was a kid and now the health guru himself sponsors Celsius. Katie Holmes has been spotted drinking Celsius and Celsius has also had a spotlight on Food Network's Unwrapped! It does not get much better than that!

NoNo's Odds & Ends "I Highly Recommend Celsius!"

March 28, 2011 - 10:09am

 NoNo's Odds & Ends Reviews Celsius!

Celsius does not have the come down crash like energy drinks have.  It is a smooth, non tiring return to normal energy level...lol!  My husband loves other energy drinks but within an hour he is crashed and tired.  He did not have that feeling after drinking Celsius.  I decided to drink one on my way to work one morning in place of my normal coffee and I have to say that I had lasting energy and did not have the crash as well.
My husband tried the shot Calypso Punch, he said “that the shot worked quickly and gave him the boost to play ball with my youngest step son for 2 hours and again no crash!  We are still drinking the powder mix and they are so tasty!”

Shopaholicmama reviews Celsius -"I will definitely be buying these drinks!"

March 24, 2011 - 9:59am

"I received a group of 8 of the Celsius flavors. The design of the cans was very attractive.  When I read the can the first thing I noticed was that the product was the natural ingredients, which I liked very much.  It was also low calorie and low sodium, which were also benefits.  They also tasted great – the flavors were authentic – not fake like some drinks I have had.  I also liked the fact that these drinks are not high in caffeine like the energy drinks on the market that get your heart racing and give you the “hanging from the ceiling” effect.  This drink was a nice change from the other fitness and energy drinks on the market. I will definitely be buying these drinks.  I also am looking forward to trying some of the company’s other products.  I know they will be as good as the drinks!"

Carol's blog site is just getting started and we are thrilled that she and her daughter picked Celsius as one of the first products they wanted to review! Shop on! Read more about her review at: http://shopaholicmama.freesamplesreviews.com/

Celsius in Blastmagazine.com - Celsius and "the South Florida Lifestyle" by Jock Armour

March 14, 2011 - 1:54pm

Check out this great review by a Celsius fan that was published in Blastmagazine.com.

 

Here's a picture of Jock that he posted on the Celsius Facebook page - he is dressed in his "Celsius ammo belt - to help him make it through the tough Warrior Dash race". Thanks Jock for the great story!
Celsius and 'the South Florida Lifestyle"

 

 

 

"..imagine that, a workout trainer in your cupholder!"

 

 

MIAMI — When I hear the phrase ‘living the South Florida lifestyle’, I think of a place so beautiful and warm that it is synonymous with living a ‘healthy lifestyle’. Growing up in the mid west it was easy to come to such a conclusion; TV, movies, music and the ‘south beach diet’ all lead me to the realization that if I lived amongst the healthy and fit people, I would become one. However, after moving to Key Biscayne, I found myself driving past all those joggers and bikers every morning on my way to work with Monster energy drink in my cup holder, a greasy Egg McMuffin in hand and a brown bag of Cuban breakfast pastries oozing pink with guava filling riding shotgun.

 

OK, so maybe there is an adjustment period, a mere couple of months testing the local cuisine before I find the oasis of health that is surely waiting to be discovered. Pretty soon I too would be biking to work with a body cut from marble, it will just happen, right?My mistake was thinking that moving would be the changing factor. As if being ‘here’ instead of ‘there’ would be the tipping point and make me healthier by association. However, what I needed was to change my lifestyle. Every morning I would indiscriminately fill my belly with quantity, not quality. Just like a car, your body will perform better if you fill it with higher grade fuels. It is one thing to know this, and another to find those options at the drive-thru, gas station or wherever your daily commute takes you to eat on the go.
According to a study done by Men’s Fitness, Miami has nearly three times the amount of fast food restaurants compared to the average city, despite Miami’s healthy reputation attributed to south Florida. Keep that in mind when you walk out the door hungry, and know that it is not very likely that you will be making a healthy decision when eating on the go. It is not impossible however; all you need is a little help on the run and, much to my surprise, I found that help hiding amongst the rows and rows of sugary energy drinks at my local Walgreens.
 
Like many people, an essential part of my morning is caffeine. Just based on taste and ingredients alone, I find myself passing on the giant cans of ‘Monster’ and ‘Rockstar’ energy drinks. I was drinking Cuban coffee for awhile, until one day I paid attention to how they were making it. Espresso, a scoop of sugar…another scoop of sugar…a liberal pour of sugar…leaving me to conclude that the tiny thimble of liquid was not something I should be putting in my body first thing in the morning. Finally I saw a drink I had never heard about in the beverage cooler called ‘Celsius’. My first attraction was to the variety of flavors they offered; raspberry acai, wild berry, peach mango, and sparkling orange. I picked up the raspberry acai and went about my routine.
The first difference I noticed was that I did not ‘crash’ like most energy drinks. According to claims on their can and website Celsius can even help you burn calories! Imagine that, a workout trainer in your cup holder…to good to be true? Not if you know what’s in it. The MetaPlus® formula that is inside Celsius provides the boost you need in the morning without all the stuff you don’t want – no sugar, no artificial preservatives, flavors or colors, and no high fructose corn syrup or aspartame. Celsius is loaded with vitamins and good-for-you ingredients, such as Green Tea with EGCG, Ginger, Calcium, Chromium, B vitamins, and vitamin C, all of which work together to raise metabolism resulting in a sustained calorie burn while keeping you energized. Like anything worth having, your health is something you must work towards maintaining. Paired with a healthy diet and exercise, I had found a new way to get closer to that ‘South Florida lifestyle’ I was searching for.
Sometimes all we really need is a first step to get on track to a healthier lifestyle. For me, finding something that I could feel good about using first thing in the morning has led me to make better choices throughout the day. If something that comes in a can is going to invest in my health, I might as well put in the effort on my end. As a company, Celsius encourages an active lifestyle by sponsoring races, sporting events, health expos and overall wellbeing. Their claims have been backed up by six clinical studies conducted by U.S. accredited scientific research facilities according to strict scientific standards. They were awarded the 2009 CSP Retailer Choice Best New Product Award and they continue to grow as a company with a wide variety of flavors and products being produced every year. As a local company, based in Boca Raton, Celsius is helping inspire us to look and feel as beautiful as the place we live in.
